You and Magdad did a fantastic job. You might consider highlighting the etchings with Black India Ink, or black paint to help them stand out. I enjoyed your video. You might consider contacting Sal Mercogliano at Campbell University where he teaches Maritime History. He has a TH-cam channel covering maritime shipping. He's very familiar with the maritime history of the Pacific during WWII.
I watched 357magdad video on the handle. He pinned you & that directed me to see this. What he did was inspiring! I’ll never be able to do what he comes out with…perfection. What you did was awesome, especially keeping the island/city names on the blade. A fantastic piece of history saved, Kudos to you both.
I'm looking forward to working on it Andy!
That is a Hoss of a Knife and with the etching of the places...the history....man o'man thats special! gonna be a great project Mr. Andy!
